To do: Confirm if these are actually GTA IV peds and not GTA V peds.

Unused Contact icons

Dia_melvin.ydt

Melvin is a cut character that was meant to appear in a setup mission for the Heists DLC for GTA Online. The only thing left of him is the contact texture of him and voice lines from the prep mission of him.

Unused Frogger Vehicle FIB Texture

While a Trevor-vandalised variant of an FIB Frogger livery is used in-game, the clean FIB Frogger livery is normally never seen, and the texture goes unused.

Unused Data Crack Design

There are a couple of early files for the Data Crack software in one of the GTA Online heist missions. Notably, the unused one has a Windows XP-style look.

Partially Unused Textures

Some texture images contain unused areas.

Buzzard

^{Unused LOS SANTOS POLICE Text}

buzzard_livery_police.png

While some of this texture is used, the LOS SANTOS POLICE text does not appear anywhere on the unarmed Buzzard vehicle. It should be noted that the Buzzard Attack Chopper uses a different texture file, which does not contain any LOS SANTOS POLICE text. It's not confirmed where this text was intended to be mapped to, but judging by the text's one-line layout, perhaps it could have fit nicely along both sides of the helicopter's tail? Also, the prospect of the unarmed Buzzard being labelled as a Los Santos Police unit makes sense, as the unarmed Buzzard can sometimes be seen flying around like an air patrol above the Ballas gang area at Grove Street.

Fire Truck

^{Unused LOS SANTOS CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT Text}

firetruck_liveries.png

While some of this texture is used, the LOS SANTOS CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT text does not appear anywhere on the Fire Truck vehicle. There is no official word on where this unused text was planned to be mapped. However, considering that the Fire Truck in this game bears a strong resemblance (both model and texture wise) to the Fire Truck in Grand Theft Auto IV, which has a unit number on its red roof area, it's possible that this now blank spot on the Grand Theft Auto V variant could have been where the unused text was going to be mapped to. This appears to be the only significant free space on the vehicle where this text could comfortably fit, although where this unused text was ever planned to be used is ultimately unconfirmed.

LSCS Cruiser

^{Unused Blue & Black Rectangle Items}

sheriff1.png

While some of this texture is used, the blue and black rectangle items do not appear anywhere on the LSCS Cruiser vehicle. This vehicle's closest relative, the LSPD Cruiser, uses both of these rectangle items on the rear of the vehicle in its own livery textures. It's plausible to suggest that the LSCS Cruiser's textures may have been designed using assets of the LSPD Cruiser's textures as a base, but these items were leftover unused, quite possibly because the LSCS Cruiser appears in and around Blaine County, where LSPD markings wouldn't make sense. (Despite this, however, the Police Riot vehicle with LSPD markings can spawn in both Los Santos and Blaine County at higher wanted levels, and also appears in Blaine County during some missions.)

Police Vehicles

^{Unused Police Badge}

police_new2.png

While some of this texture is used on various police vehicles, the police badge is not used on any vehicle. In the last-generation releases of Grand Theft Auto V, the badge was mapped to the hood area of the LSPD Buffalo vehicle. However, in the Windows, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 releases, the badge was removed from the LSPD Buffalo's texture mapping, and its livery was altered to more closely resemble that of the LSPD Cruiser. Due to this, the badge in the texture is left unused.

Foot Prints

^{Unused Horse Hoof Prints}

fxdecal_footprints.png

fxdecal_footprints_n.png

While some of these textures are used for various human foot prints and animal paw/foot prints, the horse hoof prints (top row, 4th from the right) are unused, as horses were cut from the game.

"TEMP" Billboard Texture

The neon lighted billboard uses a placeholder texture to properly display the text on it.
